We are nearly to the half way mark in our effort to raise $1500. With a month to go, I'm hoping we will get there!

When my granddaughter Mira was born, we were devastated to learn that she had Cystic Fibrosis. We soon learned about the great strides the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was making in extending the lives of CF patients. The life expectancy for CF patients was 34 years of age when Mira was born in December of 2011. The current life expectancy is now 55 years of age and gaining!
The money we raise every year during the Great Strides Walk for a Cure is why these patients are living longer. With continuing advancements in drug technology and other therapeutics, we are literally adding more tomorrows to the lives of these patients.
CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
